Cognitive infocommunications preferences of active senior citizens

This paper examines the cognitive inofocommunications preferences of active senior citizens. The study is based on quantitative questionnaire surveys and qualitative workshops held in Budapest in Warsaw within the PAELIFE project [1]. Our findings show that both the user interface and the hardware and software limitations of currently widely used infocommunications tools and services raise barriers even for active Polish and Hungarian seniors of 60-70 years. Possible alternative solutions are proposed.
